FC Bayern Munich announcement
Germany Under-19 international Fiete Arp, currently still under contract at Hamburger SV, will play for FC Bayern Munich by 1 July 2020 at the latest. Arp, FC Bayern and HSV have concluded an agreement which includes flexible changeover periods. The 19-year-old striker has the option of moving to Munich as early as summer 2019, or he will become an FC Bayern pro in the 2020/21 season. The decision as to when he leaves Hamburger SV will be taken by Arp alone.
The 19 year old Hamburger SV striker is rated as one of the hottest prospects in German football. Arp was Germany’s star performer at the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017, when he captained the U-17 national team and scored five goals in five matches.
The youngster made his Bundesliga debut for Hamburg’s first team on September 20, 2017, just days before he left for India. He scored his first Bundesliga goals in his second appearance for the club on October 28, 2017.
Arp has made eleven appearances for Hamburg, who relegated to Bundesliga 2 last summer, in the on-going 2018/19 season
